Chelsea are reported to finally be set to seal an agreement to take Corinthians striker Alexandre Pato, to Stamford Bridge.

The deal is expected to be announced any day now, however it will only be a loan deal and not a permanent signing.

Apparently Guus Hiddink, has opposed a permanent deal and would only sign off on a temporary move, at least for now, it may become a longer term deal in the summer.

Chelsea have been linked with Pato for some time now, however other clubs had entered the fray and at one time it did appear that the Blues would miss out, but it now seems that they have finally got their man.
